Sunny skies mean parks crackdown in Cowichan

Guilty plea entered in bow shooting of Maple Bay father

Louts beware: Patrols expected to be plentiful in the great outdoors

Attempted murder charged dropped: Antoniuk admits to aggravated assault Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

Ashley Degraaf

Cowichanian has pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in the arrow shooting of his father, and could be sentenced by early July, Crown counsel says.

Marvin Antoniuk Jr. is booked to appear in Duncan provincial court June 4 at 9:30 a.m., Crown lawyer Neil MacKenzie said.

The suspect was originally charged with the Jan. 27 attempted murder of his dad, Marvin Antoniuk Sr. “Crown concluded we’d proceed on a charge of aggravated assault,” MacKenzie told the News Leader Pictorial Wednesday. “Mr. Antoniuk entered a guilty plea to that charge April 23, the matter is set over for appearance June 4, and a pre-sentencing report has been ordered in the case.”

Antoniuk remains in custody, the Crown lawyer noted.

Crown decided to proceed on the aggravated-assault charge because, in general terms, evidence for attempted murder must prove “a high level of intent to kill,” he explained.

It was believed Antoniuk could face a maximum of 14 years in jail if convicted of aggravated assault — likely in late June or early July, noted MacKenzie.

However, the judge will consider pre-sentencing report data including case specifics, Antoniuk’s backMarvin Antoniuk Jr: ground and mental state, plus other in custody factors, MacKenzie explained.

The complex case centres on how and why Antoniuk, 48, allegedly fired a target arrow into his father’s chest at the family’s home on Maple Bay Road.

That arrow narrowly missed Antoniuk Sr.’s heart, Antoniuk’s lawyer Jeffrey Arndt told the News Leader Pictorial in an earlier interview. He added Antoniuk Sr. has recovered, and was released from a Victoria hospital.

His client apparently has “a blind spot” about events of Jan. 27 when alcohol and crack cocaine were believed to have been involved during the alleged crime, Arndt also stated.

Antoniuk — a former Crofton mill worker turned contractor — was beaten after the arrow episode, said Arndt, a thumping that gave the accused a broken nose and broken teeth.

eautiful sunny days plus motivated folks enjoying the weather equals the typical but time-sensitive trails and parks use warning from the Cowichan Valley Regional District.

“Late last week the CVRD held a meeting to coordinate enforcement within our parks and trails system,” said CVRD manager of inspections and enforcement, Brian Duncan in an email.

He notes RCMP, B.C. Parks rangers, conservation officers service and forest, lands and natural resource officers were in attendance.

“This has proven very successful in the past keeping motorized vehicles off our trails which are enjoyed by residents and visitors alike.”

The CVRD also works closely with the Shawnigan Lake, Cowichan Lake and North Cowichan RCMP detachments with their members swapping their patrol cars with bikes to keep an eye on the trail systems and parks from time to time throughout the summer.

“Long weekends through the summer and fall are most problematic and exhaust the resources of municipal, provincial and federal enforcement agencies,” explained Duncan. more on page 6

t has been 25 years since a new antidepressant, Prozac (fluoxetine), came on the market. It heralded a new class of antidepressant drugs, the serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Since this discovery, there have been many other drugs that have been developed to help improve the lives of people living with depression.

When journalists show a picture of a doctor, there is usually a stethoscope hanging around the doctor’s neck. In the not too distant future, this doctor symbol may be history. General Electric has developed a pocket-sized ultra-sound device doctors can carry with them to be able to do cardiac, abdominal, obstetric, urinary and pediatric exams at the bedside. It’s on the market now but is quite expensive.

Blood pressure varies throughout the day. It usually peaks by mid-afternoon then slowly drops to its lowest while we sleep. Coffee, smoking, exercise and stress can increase it while calming activities like meditation and yoga can lower it.

Having an overactive bladder and not be near a bathroom can be very disconcerting. About 20% of Canadians have this urgency to urinate. There are oral prescription medications to help this problem but may have some side effects. There is a gel available that comes in pre-measured 1 gram doses to be applied once daily to the abdomen to help control urinary urgency. See your doctor.

Our pharmacists keep current on the latest advances in drug treatment. It’s part of our responsibility to lifelong learning to help us be of greater service to you, our customers.

Our Vote, Our Voice an ear for Cowichan’s young electorate before casting ballots

Young votes do count. That’s why The Young Professionals of Cowichan are staging Our Vote, Our Voice, Saturday’s landmark non-partisan brunch and discussion to pump excitement around Tuesday’s provincial election.

After brunch at the Old Fork Restaurant in the Silver Bridge Travel Lodge, the group will vote together at advance polls in the Island Savings Centre.

The trend is for young Canadians to avoid election-day polls, but YPC’s president, Christina Tipton, said Saturday’s event will show politicians and residents young opinions are relevant.

“By voting together, we, as a generation, are sending the message that we do care about what our future is going to like. “We are making voting fun and less intimidating for young people,” Tipton

said. “If we don’t step up and have a voice, our concerns will not be heard and politicians will be less inclined to address us.”

Candidates are invited to participate in political discussion during YPC’s event, and have their questions answered.

To attend, RSVP to president@ypcowichan.ca or on Facebook.

In the meantime, conservation officers advise anyone who comes in close contact with a bear to “remain calm.”

“The bear was likely just passing through their neighbourhood and if the bear doesn’t find food it will likely move

on,” says the Ministry of Environment website.

“Determine if the bear has been attracted to the location or is in the locale as a result of household type attractants being present.”

owichan Bay’s Greg Hunt is spreading the word of an unwanted visitor to his property last week.

On May 2, the Bay resident, who lives on Fairbanks Road, was in his yard watering flowers when a black bear approached him.

“My back was to the house looking at the ocean,” Hunt explained in an email to the News Leader Pictorial. “I looked to my left and to my amazement and shock 50 to 60 feet away walking right towards me was a black bear, his head moving side to side.”

Hunt figured the furry caller was about three feet high and about four or five feet long, with “shiny black fur, brown snout and black nose.”

“I observed its large paws, moving as he walked. I was trapped between the steep bank and the bear, nowhere to go,” Hunt recapped.

“Mind racing, I froze not moving a muscle holding onto the plastic watering

he sun will heat the Cowichan Estuary Nature Centre after a $7,579 grant from the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation.

Cowichan Land Trust will install a solar electric system — among the valley’s first larger ones — at Cowichan Bay’s hands-on facility in Hecate Park.

That work includes rooftop solar panels, controls, and an active interpretive display.

The centre’s system will educate folks about energy conservation and solar power, while saving money and energy by reducing the centre’s hydro dependence.

Viridian Energy Co-operative, a community-based renewableenergy company, will install the solar system.

Viridian has a team of electrical and plumbing contractors working with experienced renewable energy specialists.

Repeated theft confounds at Cowichan recycling facilities Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

Taxpayers are forking out thousands as thieves target Cowichan’s wasterecycling facilities.

Jason Adair, solid-waste supervisor of Cowichan Valley Regional District’s sites at Bings Creek, Meade Creek, and Peerless Road, figured around $7,500 is spent annually keeping crooks out of the fenced sites where trucks are trashed, tools stolen, metal grabbed, cameras snapped, lawnmowers lifted, and weed-wackers ripped off.

Bolt-cutters are used to slice through fencing and enter the remote sites.

“It’s getting quite brazen. Anything

not locked is taken.”

That spells insurance-liability costs, and fence repair bills, to taxpayers who could soon pay for night-watch staff at the Bings site, Adair explained of the idea headed for CVRD board approval.

Meanwhile, security alarms have been added, and Co-Val security patrols increased to stem the stealing.

“It boils down to being more diligent,” said Adair, noting police haven’t yet recovered any stolen stuff.

He briefly entertained ideas of unleashing watchdogs inside the fences at night.

“I don’t know about the liability, but that would certainly solve the problem.”

Youth digging food growing movement Green means grow: local interns at Cowichan Green Community have been digging deep in farm project at Kinsmen Park

A

food revolution seems to be taking root in Cowichan.

Young folks are taking charge of local food growing.

A perfect example is Cowichan Green Community’s work in the Kinsmen Park revitalization and more recent Youth Urban Farm project.

“I think this is just wonderful what’s happening here,” said Vancouver Island University instructor Christine Pollard, whose employability skills students have been assisting with farm maintenance.

“I grew up in the hippy era where this was just life for us, but now it’s becoming something young people are very interested in again.

“I’m finally trending again,” she said, between maintenance work she and students were doing at the park Tuesday.

Clark Ablard and Kendall Lawson are two of the six students hired with grant money to lead the expansion of the garden in the park located off Alderlea Street.

“In November, CGC entered into a contribution agreement from Service Canada through the Skills Link Community Service Program,” explained CGC’s Heather Kaye.

“The vision of this project was to create a sustainable social enterprise that will train youth, provide increased access to local food and educate the community on how to grow food sustainably in their own backyards.”

CGC’s first vision of park transformation occurred in 2007 with a community garden — 18 raised beds for use by community members, said Kaye.

In 2009, an additional 24 beds were added as well as a tool shed and compost bin.

“In 2011, CGC began to work on transforming the building that housed

If Cowichan Green Community’s Clark Ablard had a pitchfork in hand this photo could be a more modern take on the American Gothic portrait. Ablard, along with CGC’s Kendall Lawson are two of the youth instrumental in the Kinsmen Park Youth Urban Farm. the pool equipment, washrooms, change rooms and canteen, which had remained empty and unused after the pool’s removal, into an outdoor classroom featuring green technologies and natural building techniques. This included the installation of solar hot water, solar hydronics, a cob bench, and rainwater collection.”

Furthermore, a native plant demonstration garden was created, more fruit trees planted, a memorial bench was erected and more perennials were incorporated into the landscape.

The icing on the cake is the most recent youth-focused project: the conversion of underutilized green space to Duncan’s first-ever youthled urban farm, including an additional quarter-acre of growing

space as well as a passive-solar greenhouse next to the recently retrofitted pool building.

Clark and Lawson underwent six weeks of classroom training and workshops.

They will continue to work the garden through the summer and forge community ties — finding folks to sell their veggies and herbs to, attending the Duncan Farmer’s Market and getting more community groups on board.

“For me, the experience has been new. I didn’t know a lot about gardening, soil, crop planting, and that has been awesome and I’m loving being a part of it and connecting with so many people in the community,” said Lawson.

The youth celebrated with a grand opening April 6.

Save yourself a wasted effort, just don’t vote

Just pick one: there are countless reasons not to

D

on’t vote on May 14. That’s the easiest way to spend a stress-free election day.

Just let everyone else look for parking at those hard-to-find voting stations listed on that yellow pamphlet lost at home someplace.

And by not voting, you’ll be like thousands of other British Columbians too busy or disgruntled to cast a ballot.

And hey, it’s tough slogging through all those campaign flyers and newspaper stories about candidates from a bunch of different parties.

Anyway, politics is boring; it’s all just arguing like little kids in a sandbox.

And politicians are crooks or liars.

Too much efThey make election promises, then do fort, too little what they want once they’re in office.

Your vote won’t make a difference return anyway; it’s just one vote.

It’s also tough figuring out which party is which.

Don’t vote for the Liberals. They gave us the HST Campbell lied about. Then they sold BC Rail, cut education and health spending, and wouldn’t ban raw-log exports during 10 long years in power. Don’t vote NDP either. They screwed up big time a decade ago with those costly fast-cat ferries, while premier Glen Clark gave his buddy a gambling licence in trade for a home deck. The NDP are socialists who’d wreck our economy, and tax us to death.

And the Greens? Tree-huggers clueless about running our economy. We need logging; where does our toilet paper come from? And without that pipeline, how would we gas our trucks? Conservatives?

Hell no. They’re uncaring right-wingers that haven’t been in power in B.C. before. They might run B.C. like Harper runs Canada.

An independent candidate? No way. They’d be a lone voice in the wilderness, even if some of their ideas are good ones.

No, stay home on May 14 — then complain when the election results come in and nothing changes.

We say:

Seeing both sides of: memorial ride police roadblock The case against

The case for

Argue all you want about the merits — or lack thereof — of motorcycle gangs.

That’s not really what this is about.

Any way you slice it, a cavalcade of more than 100 bikers rolling along island highways creates issues for traffic safety and law enforcement.

Police would be derelict in their duty had they not responded in a fashion that showed they took the action seriously.

To say otherwise is to be unrealistic.

Police check bikers at a May 4 roadblock.

If you want to see change, then vote for change Paul Fletcher

lbert Einstein said you cannot solve a problem using the same level of thinking that created it.

Yet we now have a provincial election looming over us and the traditional same-level party thinking is still being applied.

Name-calling, vague promises, photo ops and a lot of wasted money spent on advertising is still the standard behavior in B.C. provincial elections.

I am tired of the old ways and want to see a better way of accomplishing positive change.

I believe in a new economy where sustainable does not mean exporting raw resources, where employment isn’t only in northern gas fields or Alberta, where young families have the option of staying in their home communities rather than having to leave home and family to find work.

I believe in a political arena where there are no opponents, only consensus.

I want broad, intelligent, exciting government that supports the liberation of people to be free thinkers in a society where collaboration and communication are the keys to success.

I want a new way of thinking and new ways of approaching problems, while at the same time keeping the broad view in mind rather than maintaining the typical tunnel vision approach of the past.

In this global environment we need global free thinkers who can collaborate country-wide and world-wide, bringing new and innovative solutions to the big issues facing us.

I no longer trust majority governments.

I used to be a supporter of majority governments as enablers of forward movement.

But, since our current prime minister has demonstrated a complete disregard for the democratic process with his current majority government, I am now a fan of minorities.

I don’t want to imagine the Liberals returning

Sure the RCMP was correct to have a presence during the Zeke Ride.

But a dog squad? A blockade? Dozens of officers? A helicopter?

Come on, is that scope of an operation anywhere near necessary for a group of citizens who may have committed that heinous crime of running a red light?

This was a shakedown, plain and simple and a waste of police time.

COWICHAN LEADERS

with a majority considering their views on resource management and their recent history of mismanagement. I equally cannot support a NDP majority where newly elected NDP representatives are going to arrive at the legislature inexperienced and easily influenced to make poor choices.

My perfect scenario is the Greens holding the balance of power in a minority government.

In this position, the Greens will have a strong influence on provincial decision-making whereas they will be cast into the shadows of the legislature with an NDP majority.

I am voting Green.

As soon as I announced my voting intentions, I was immediately assailed with “a Green vote is a wasted vote.” I was told it could hurt the chances of the front-runner getting elected.

I am tired of the same old strategy of scaring new thinkers into lining up behind the traditional candidate choices.

I don’t believe this and I do not support this

as logical.

The Green party is not a one-trick-pony or single issue party as its opponents like to trumpet. It has a vision for B.C. Your vision may not match the Green Party’s vision, but the Greens are not the only alternative out there, just the one with the highest profile. Pick candidate number four, or number five if it better suits you. The point is, you are not limited to just two choices.

This column will likely not change many set minds but hopefully it has shown those who traditionally do not vote that a fresh wind is blowing. Sometimes you have to place your bets on the dark horse to win.

Your vote can count.

Not voting rewards bad behaviour

Honest change can be a positive

Dear editor There is a more positive way of viewing change. (May 8: “Don’t make a mistake for the sake of change,” by Gwyn Morgan, former chair of SNC Lavalin, and director of other large corporations, who has served as an advisor to Christy Clark).

The B.C. Liberals have lied. Under the pretense of being “prudent fiscal managers,” they have doubled the provincial debt even as they sold public assets such as B.C. Rail. They have made a mess of BC Ferries and they have crippled BC Hydro with their meddling. The Liberals have hidden the truth and they’ve hidden from the truth; using private emails to avoid leaving a paper trace, stonewalling the attorney general, and finally, becoming a government in absentia rather than facing up to their misdeeds. Even their public apologies have been two-faced.

The Liberals misled everyone when they said they could make the province a better place by taking from the poor and rewarding the rich. But the lowest corporate tax rate in Canada has short-changed schools, hospitals, and social services, and disgraced us with the highest child poverty rate in Canada. The Liberals have saved their biggest deception for last however, telling B.C. voters that better government isn’t possible, that dishonest government is as good as it gets. It seems to me that voting for change on May 14 — choosing a party that will place honesty and responsibility ahead of ideology — is not only a possibility, it is something that British Columbia desperately needs.

In my opinion: B.C. better for your vote

B

.C. elections are traditionally so tight between the two main parties that only twice in the last eight elections has the difference in popular vote between the two parties exceeded five per cent: in 1991 and 2001.

But the vote that should truly leave everyone aghast is the “stay at home” vote: the 1.5 million voters that have simply tuned out.

During the past three decades, the percentage of British Columbians who actually vote has steadily fallen, from more than 70% to a little more than half last time out, when nearly one out of every two voters seemingly slept the day away and never bothered to cast a ballot.

And despite all the venom it generated, nearly Andrew Leong half of all voters couldn’t be bothered to render Karen O’Meara, Carol Sim, and Joy Larson completed the course of the 4K Hike For Hospice around the trails of a verdict on the HST in 2011, even though they Providence Farm on Sunday, May 5. didn’t have to go farther than a mailbox to do so big franchises — Conservatives, NDP and property on the word of a few strangers.” In and had weeks to make the trek.

the area.

“The Cowichan Valley Collaborative Services Committee — CSC, (made up of representatives of the local Division of Family Practice, VIHA, Community leaders and First Nation partners) has identified Lake Cowichan as a priority area for community primary health care team development. A meeting is being scheduled with the local community to create a progressive action plan,” said VIHA spokesperson Valerie Wilson.

However, in the same letter, Wilson acknowledged the current physician operating out of Brookside Medical Clinic has also decided to move his practice to Duncan in the fall.

“This physician is also communicating his decision to his patients and advising them he will continue to provide care for his patients in Duncan,” says Wilson.

“VIHA is very aware that this will leave the community without a physician.”

The Physician Recruitment Office will continue to work with these physicians, the town, and Choose Lake Cowichan — a group formed to develop communityled initiatives around recruiting and retaining physicians in Lake Cowichan — to attract and retain physicians for Lake Cowichan.

She points out that physicians are local business people and as such are not employees of VIHA. “It is the decision of the physician where she/ he chooses to practice.”

Both of these positions have been posted on the VIHA and Health Match B.C. websites since May 2012, and Wilson says those posts will continue to remain active until the positions are filled.

Wilson added VIHA has put forward a proposal for provincial funding to establish a nurse practitioner position in Lake Cowichan.

“We anticipate learning the outcome of this proposal in the near future.”

Erika Lucas of Island Pharmacy isn’t worried that the town will attract a physician.

“We have until September, and it’s a great opportunity for a physician to come to the lake. Somebody’s going to grab the position, no question.”

Tyee Kennel Club members still adjusting to dog show venue switch Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

I

Cowichan News Leader Pictorial 13 Novelty events are popular at the Tyee Kennel Club dog show, including last year’s ‘70s theme where handlers dressed the part.

“Not ‘my shoe’!

I said . . .

‘I mi missed you’ ” Don’t miss out on the D little things in life.

Don Bodger/file

t’s going to take time for regulars of the Tyee Kennel Club’s annual dog show to become familiar with new surroundings.

After some 32 years based at Kerry Park, the show moved its headquarters to the Cowichan Exhibition Grounds last year.

The show makes its second appearance at the Cox Ex this weekend as a new tradition begins to unfold.

“You knew what to do at Kerry Park,’’ said Dianne Gordon, a lifetime member of the club.

“Suddenly, here we are not knowing anything.

Last year, they didn’t know where to go after the show. After a couple of years, it’ll be fine.’’

At Kerry Park, “we were the longest there,’’ said Gordon. “We were outgrowing the space.’’

Gordon pointed out a lot of the competitors from the Lower Mainland are now travelling on the Duke Point ferry, which is closer to the show site.

“We probably get 40% off-island from other places,’’ said Gordon.

The club offers three full days of dog events for spectators. It’s a great chance to see a favourite breed in person — racing, prancing and sitting.

The show opens Friday at 10 a.m., running until 4:30 p.m. Saturday is a blowout day, according to Gordon, with events going from 9 a.m. until about 5:30 p.m. and Sunday’s schedule goes from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The all-breed show features conformation, obedience and rally obedience classes and the ever-popularity agility.

The pointing dog field test is also one to watch, Gordon said.

Thank You!

Brad and I have been completely overwhelmed and grateful by the out pouring of support and love that has been given to our family since Brad was diagnosed with kidney cancer in December. The support has been absolutely phenomenal! So many people have stepped up to help us financially, emotionally, delivering wonderful meals and goodies to the house to having our lawn cut weekly from a great bunch of guys. We would like to send a big thank you out to everyone that helped make our “Cancer Sucks” fundraiser a huge success that took place on April 13th. There were many long hours and meetings put into this by many of my coworkers and their families and friends to make this happen. We would like to send a big thank you to all the local businesses in the Cowichan Valley that contributed items or services for the auction including food and drinks for the BBQ at the fundraiser as well as fun music and dancing. Thank you to the Moose lodge for supplying the venue for this to happen. We would also like to thank the fundraising events that took place on the Mainland by friends and family and the generous contribution from Brads business contractors . A very special thank you to the CVMHA and to all the parents and players from our son Ericks hockey association for their generous support. A huge thank you to my employer Sunridge Place for their support and the wonderful management team and beautiful co-workers and friends we are blessed to have in our lives. Everyone we know including strangers has offered to or has done something to make this battle a little bit easier. Brad, myself and our children Miranda and Erick are truly lucky to be part of such a wonderful community. We are blessed by the family and friends we have in our lives and for that you all have a special place in our hearts. Your kindness and on going support will never be forgotten.

Thank you The MacKinnon family

Rona Ives and Janice Yates were among 50 students from George Bonner school who spent their Easter break in the Soviet Union. They found the communist-ruled country less intimidating and less controlled than they expected, they said.

Duncan lawyer Caroline Askew was the speaker for the evening at a meeting of the Duncan Business & Professional Women’s Club. Her topic: Rape relief clinic and sexual abuse of children in the Cowichan Valley.

o the present-day parent it may seem an alien process, but 30 years ago school districts could set their own budgets. Yep, locally-elected trustees could actually plan schooling for the following year, figure out what it would cost and set local taxes accordingly.

So, just like every year, in May 1981, the school board approved its budget. The $22.6 million amount was an increase from the previous year, which meant local residents would pay $13.2 million, with the rest coming from the province. Said school board secretary treasurer Bill Brown: “Even with the (increase) we are still well below the provincial average in terms of (percentage taxation) and we believe that we have had the smallest increase of the lower Vancouver Island school area.”

Although regretting the tax hike, school board chairwoman Joan Gillatt said the increase was necessary to ensure the Cowichan school district was not forced to cut back any of its programs. She criticized the provincial government, however, for not paying its full share.

“I feel a greater percentage of the cost of education should be paid for by the provincial government, particularly as we are faced with a high cost in mainstreaming the handicapped into the educational system,” she said.

n a valley far, far away, songwriter Kris Vopnfjord and his students are launching Cowichan’s first version of Star Wars.

Five original songs by Vopnfjord, backed by music recorded in Quamichan Middle School’s studio, lend the music for the school’s galactic show running Monday through Wednesday.

“They’re actually songs I’ve written to go along with the play.

“It’s not the (John Williams’) Star Wars soundtrack, it’s original music that’s a tribute to Star Wars from 1977.”

About 70 QMS students are involved in the play based on George Lucas’ Hollywood blockbuster that was light years ahead of earlier outer-space flicks.

Vopnfjord’s still a big fan among a new generation of Grade 7 to 9 kids he’s introduced to hero Luke Skywalker, evil Darth Vader, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, R2D2, Hans Solo and other legendary Star Wars characters clad in rented and locally-made costumes.

“Star Wars was really something for me and my generation.

Star Wars’ music, for live singing this week, was pre-recorded by Vopnfjord and a bunch of students in a studio he built at Quamichan.

“During the past year, I had students record a compilation CD to be released at the end of the

Quebec City-bound group, back row, from left includes: David Schneider, Ian Macey, Matt Gurzinki, Zach Kiedaisch. Middle: Chelsey Orza, Karly Longridge, Bernice Hennessy. Front: Sam Veltcamp, Jenna Ellison.

Eight dedicated Grade 9 Quamichan Middle School French students decided in early March they wanted to visit Quebec City.

That will become a reality next Wednesday when the group departs on the five-day trip. But first, there’s one last fundraiser, a garage sale

Saturday from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. at Quamichan.

Teacher Bernice Hennessy told the students if they raised the money and got parent permission, she would take them on the trip.

In five weeks, $7,000 of the $10,500 needed was raised.

“They will be there to celebrate Patriot’s Day, a provincial holiday that coincides with our May long week-

end,’’ noted Hennessy. “They will also be visiting a Sugar Shack, having an authentic evening of Quebecois food, song and dancing. We will be going to Grosse Isle, the rich in history national park that was a quarantine station for Irish immigrants coming to Canada from 1832 to 1937.’’

Many other events are on the itinerary, including a St. Lawrence River boat ride.

too Afraid to Cry a Home Child Experience by Skidmore

Got a ats story? email arts@cowichannewsleader.com phone 250-856-0041

ArtS

A book reading of Marjorie Too Afraid To Cry by author Patricia Skidmore will be conducted Saturday at the Fairbridge Chapel from 1 to 3 p.m.

Skidmore’s mother, Marjorie Skidmofre (nee Arnison) will attend the reading.

She was at the Prince of Wales Fairbridge Farm School from September 1937 until September 1942.

Marjorie’s Canadian sister Audrey Lewis and their youngest brother from England will also be in attendance.

Audrey was at the school from August 1938 until January 1946. Brother David Arnison was one of two brothers born to the Arnison family after three of the children were removed from their mother’s care and sent to Canada.

Happily Ever Now based on personal struggles Self worth: Physiotherapist Wendy D. Bowen launches her first book Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

I

magine taking your marriage vows, but instead of holding the hands of your partner, holding a mirror with your reflection.

In essence that’s the image local author Wendy D. Bowen’s trying to get across to folks with her book Happily Ever Now, Discover Your Self Worth.

“The ultimate message is love and accepting yourself for who you are,” said Bowen, who’s known around the community as a physiotherapist and owner of Start Line Physiotherapy.

Writing this book based on her own struggles has been rolling through Bowen’s consciousness for about four years.

Through conversations with clients as a physiotherapist, friends and family encouragement, as well as inspiration from mentor authors like Dr. Wayne Dyer, Carylyn Myss, and Robert Holden, Bowen was roused to take her personal journal entries to the next level.

“I attended a Hay House conference in 2011,” Bowen said of the publishing company built on inspirational writer Louise Hay, and which has also published books by Holden and Dyer.

There she was introduced to Balboa Press, a division of Hay House and a company that helps aspiring self-acceptance and transformational authors self-publish books.

Bowen bounced the idea off a Balboa representative before spending the summer journaling and re-writing entries to fit with the Happily Now theme.

“I was just writing, writing consistently so I could get into a flow,” said Bowen, who journals her thoughts every morning. “And then Balboa phoned me again in September and that was essentially my universal kick in the butt.”

After editing and a little restructuring, the finished product was presented to Bowen and printed in March.

“As I was doing this, along the way I was sharing my idea with (physiotherapy) clients and what I was writing about,” said Bowen.

Although the book doesn’t have a target audience, it was recently brought to Bowen’s attention it would make a perfect required read for high school students struggling to find themselves.

For the Chemainus resident, the idea initially was fueled by feeling tied down to worries and pressures of having to have someone in her life, relationship wise.

“The universe will offer us the experiences that we need in order to learn what it is we need to learn. What were the lessons that I needed to learn before I would meet my prince and live happily ever after?” Bowen says in promotion material. “I started to wonder why it bothered me so much that I did not have someone in my life who wanted to marry me.”

Readers are taken through a journey from her first love, to heartache and where she’s at now.

CVOLC artists open fourth-annual show in Benchmark Gallery Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

E Peter W. Rusland

Kayla Hyder and Chris Collins with artworks hung in CVOLC school’s show in Duncan’s Benchmark Gallery until May 25.

xposing Cowichanians to art, especially CVOLC’s diverse brand of creativity, is the name of the multi-media game this month at downtown Duncan’s Benchmark Gallery.

The space, beside Excellent Frameworks and the E.J. Hughes Gallery, is annually donated by owners Janet Martinez and Michael Shaw to young artists from the Cowichan Valley Open Learning Cooperative.

This year, some 40 pupils are showing about 60 works spanning

watercolours and acrylic paintings to sculpture, photos, drums and knitting, until May 25.

“Art’s part of their course load,” teacher Kim Douglas said of the exhibit launched May 9. “It gives students a release and enables them to create with ease.”

The fourth-annual display of CVOLC pieces is also a self-confidence booster, she said.

“A lot of these kids don’t get that opportunity because of their circumstances; it’s an esteem builder.”

Kayla Hyder, 19, was sure pumped.

“It’s really cool to see my stuff out there, and being able to sell it,” the Grade 12 artist said of her watercolour Howling, and photos

she’s displaying.

“Art’s one of my getaways; and I’ve always liked taking pictures.”

Classmate Chris Collins, 19, was also stoked about showing his penand-ink piece EyQuality “Lots of parents in our community talk about our show, and it bring lots of attention to CVOLC,” he said.

“It shows there’s lots of creativity at our school. It’s like a family.”

Your Veterinarian... your other Family Doctor Dear Doctor: My dog has been chewing at his hind end a lot for the last week. I don’t think it is fleas because I am very sensitive to flea bites and I haven’t been bothered. What else could it be?

Gillian Wiley Veterinarian

A: This is a great question and one that veterinarians are asked frequently because

itchy dogs are very common. If your dog is chewing at the area just ahead of his tail I would be checking very carefully for fleas. Using the fact that one is not being bitten is, in my experience, a poor indicator of fleas in a household. Fleas need cat or dog blood in order to lay eggs. If there is a suitable pet as a victim they will seldom bite a human. However, remove the pets

from a flea infested house, and watch out!!

This is usually the worst time of year for flea problems as we raise the warmth and humidity by closing up our houses creating ideal flea conditions. The flea population seems to peak in late September and October. So don’t stop treating too early, use a flea comb to be sure and use effective flea products.

H.W. Wallace 5285 Polkey Road 250-701-0001 HASLAM, Jack June 20, 1929 - May 4, 2013 Born June 20, 1929 in Kings Daughter Hospital, Duncan, B.C. Passed away May 4, 2013 at Cowichan District Hospital.

He is now reunited with his beloved wife of 49 years, Gladys, predeceased in 1997.

Mourning his loss is his loving family, daughters Carol (Bob) Nelson, and Rebecca Haslam, and sons Jack (Wendy), Ron (Wendy) and Mike (Liz) Haslam. His 12 Grandchildren, Cindy, Christine, Jack III, Laura, Carey, Candis, Mike, Dan, Paul, Leah, Anna and his dedicated grandson Nathan who spent countless hours by his side. Plus 17 1/2 Great-grandchildren.

And sister-in-law Isabel Limer. Dad never tired of hearing about another baby being born into the family.

Dad worked in the forestry industry for 50 years. He picked up the saw at the age of 14 and started falling and continued until his retirement at 64. He was a familiar face as a fire warden for 37 years in the summer months. Fighting forest fires and patrolling the Cowichan Valley for abandoned campfires brought him many hours of joy and stories. In his early years he was always found fishing Cowichan Bay or fly-fishing in the Cowichan River. He was always “going on hunting trips� throughout most of B.C. He was an avid vegetable gardener and in his later years he was well known for his BAKING for everyone, especially his donuts and apple pies.

He was greatly loved and respected by his family and friends, and his passing has left another void in their hearts. We love you and miss you Dad. Hugs and kiss Mom for us.

A celebration of his life will be held June 15 at Glenora Hall at 2pm.

CLARKE: Peter Cockett October 5, 1929 – April 26, 2013 It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Peter Cockett Clarke of Nanaimo, B.C. Peter will be greatly missed by his wife Heather, son Owen (Yvonne), daughter Catherine (Jim), grandchildren Lachlan, Finley, Skyler and Makenna, and stepsons Rob and Jay Dyke.

Peter was born in Gatesheadon-Tyne, County Durham, England. Following his National Service commitment in England, from 1948 to 1950, Peter obtained a B.A. Degree at Sheffield University and a Physical Education diploma at Carnegie P.E. College in Leeds. Peter taught for a year in England before immigrating to Canada in 1956 with his first wife Patricia, where they spent a year teaching in Burns Lake, B.C. In August of 1957, they moved to Vancouver Island to continue their teaching careers. Peter taught at Mount Newton Junior Senior Secondary School for four years, served for five years as Deputy Head of the re-established Brentwood College at Mill Bay and re-entered the public school system serving as Vice Principal of Quamichan Junior Secondary in Duncan. Peter left education in 1974 and entered the Life/ Disability Insurance business. He was passionate about the games of rugby and cricket, both as a player and as a builder.

His unfailing commitment and service to both sports is well known and highly regarded by rugby and cricket enthusiasts on Vancouver Island, the Mainland, across the country and abroad. In 1996, Peter took up painting, working with watercolour and oils and continued his new found hobby for another 17 years. He enjoyed playing golf with Heather and travelling with her, visiting the UK, travelling the country by car, attending international rugby matches and cruising in the Mediterranean, the Baltic and Pacific. One of the highlights was spending six months in Australia/New Zealand.

DEATHS

DEATHS

DEATHS WOODWARD, James (Jim)

It is with great sadness that the family of Jim Woodward announces his passing from complications due to COPD, on Thursday, May 2, 2013, at the age of 71 years.

Survived by loving wife Carol of 49 years (six months shy of their 50th wedding anniversary); son Gary Woodward (Chris) of Victoria, B.C.; grandson Eleric Woodward of Victoria, B.C.; step-grandchildren Bowen and Maya of Victoria, B.C.; daughter Joanne Bertrand (Dave) of Powell River, B.C.; step-grandson David Jr. of Nanaimo, B.C.; sister-in-law Eileen (Woodward) Lowry of Duncan, B.C.; sister-in-law Virginia Royle (Julian) of Cyprus, Greece; niece Mandy Royle of York, England; niece Debbie Gallagher (Charles Sr.) of Cyprus, Greece; great-nephew Callum of York, England; great-niece Billie-Georgia of York, England; great-nephew Charles Jr.. of York, England; great-nephew Harry of Cyprus, Greece; special family friends Kathy and Buffy Elzinga, Gordie Rumley, David Chang and Anna-Marie (Chang) Williams; and beloved fur-baby Rascal. Predeceased by sisters Audrey Woodward and Beryl Sweeney; brother Tom Woodward; and beloved fur-babies Cindy, Kayla, Mugly, and Bear.

Jim was born on Oct. 23, 1941 in Timperley, Altrincham, England, to parents Aubrey and Esther Woodward. Jim and Carol met in 1959, married in October 1963 and welcomed son Gary in November 1965, and daughter Joanne in June 1970. While Carol was awaiting the arrival of their son, Gary, Jim could be found rehearsing with his rock ‘n’ roll band The Shadows. Before immigrating to Canada in March 1976, Jim was a qualified hairdresser until he became a sales representative for L’Oreal. After settling in Duncan, Jim worked briefly for his brother Tom at Pacific Rim Travel before going into partnership at Juliet’s nightclub. Once the partnership ended, Jim’s friendly smile and great personality were recognized mostly at the Galaxy nightclub or at Orca Manufacturing, both located in Duncan. Jim entered another partnership and managed Sweetwater’s nightclub in Victoria before retiring in 2003.

A life-long Lions Club member, Jim volunteered with the worthwhile club for 35 years. He received many awards and acknowledgements from numerous organizations throughout his life time and will always be known for all the work he did. Jim was a huge supporter of Cops for Cancer, raising thousands of dollars to support the local cause. He had a sense of humour that couldn’t be topped by anyone, sharing his endless jokes with all who would listen and always leaving everyone with a smile on their face. Jim was a hugely likable human being, making not only local friends, but friends from all around the world. The list of hobbies and interests that Jim held is too long to mention, including his endless love and devotion for all types of animals.

A huge and endless thank you to all the doctors, nurses, and caregivers at the Cowichan District Hospital and Victoria General Hospital, including the ICU units, as well neighbours, family, friends, vets and veterinary staff for all their care and compassion before, during and after Jim’s passing.

Cremation by request. A celebration of life will be held between 2 and 4 p.m., Saturday, May 25, at H.W. Wallace Cremation & Burial Centre, 5285 Polkey Rd., Duncan, B.C., V9L-6W3. Please bring your most cherished memories and share them with Jim’s family and friends. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Jim’s memory to the SPCA Cowichan & District (Duncan) Branch, 7550 Bell McKinnon Rd., Duncan, B.C., V9L-6B1, or to Prevost Veterinary Clinic, 1057 Canada Ave., Duncan, B.C., V9L-1V2, or to the charity of your choice.

A Celebration of Life for Peter will be held on Saturday, June 1, 2013, at 2:00 pm in the Gil Bunch Theatre at Brentwood College in Mill Bay. SANDS ~ NANAIMO 250-753-2032

Nominations for Sports wall of Fame close May 24

SPoRTS wATCh

More deserving coaches, athletes, teams, administrators or builders will soon be added to the North Cowichan-Duncan Sports Wall of Fame.

The class of 2013 will be determined after all applications received from the public have been considered.

The deadline for nominations is May 24 so

those interested in submitting applications will have to act fast.

Forms can be picked up and later dropped off at the North Cowichan Municipal Hall, the Cowichan Aquatic Centre and Fuller Lake Arena.

An awards ceremony will be held in the fall for the selected inductees.

Devils overcome resistance from the Mitt Crushers

Ball hockey: Fifth straight Bev Lashman memorial title requires extra effort Don Bodger

T

he Duncan Devils did it again.

Not only did the squad that organizes the Bev Lashman memorial ball hockey tournament win it for the fifth year in a row, it did a great community service by raising approximately $7,500 more for the Canadian Cancer Society.

The Devils may have topped the 24-team field in the 11th-annual event, but it was anything but a cakewalk this time.

“I didn’t think we were going to win this year,’’ conceded tournament organizer and Devils’ player Karny Dhillon.

The Mitt Crushers, another local team, provided the greatest resistance to the Devils’ tournament dynasty. The Mitt Crushers won the B event last year.

“They came out firing on

all cylinders,’’ said Dhillon.

“They were a great team.’’

The teams met on the first day and the Mitt Crushers opened up a 4-0 lead. But the Devils battled back to win 6-5.

The Mitt Crushers knocked off the powerful Victoria Knights to earn another shot at the Devils in the final.

It was another great game but the Devils retained the tournament title with a 5-3 victory.

Aaron Plumb staked the Devils to an early lead, but the Mitt Crushers took advantage of penalties to go ahead 2-1.

Mike Hammond replied for the Devils and Pat Nelson scored three straight that made it 5-2 before the Mitt Crushers replied with one last goal.

The Regulators won the B division, with second place going to the Cedar Heat.

Cloud City Storm claimed the C division crown, with Predators placing second.

Young Guns were the D division champs. The Penelakut Island Storm were the runners-up.

It’s always a lot of work for Dhillon and his helpers to put

“There’s only four or five local teams out of the 24,’’ said Dhillon. “They all come from up and down the island and Vancouver.

“For what it’s worth, we have the biggest most competitive

ball hockey tournament on the island.

“Teams enjoy it and it’s a good cause.’’

The Island Savings Centre Arena and Multi-Purpose Hall, Sportsplex lacrosse box and the Si’em Lelum gym were all used for games.

Josh Klassen, left, is on his way to Briercrest, Saskatchewan and Nick Ridenour, above, has committed to Cornell.

wo more of the Cowichan Valley’s top youth athletes of 2012 have made commitments for their future academics and athletics after high school graduation.

Rower Nick Ridenour of Brentwood College will be heading to Cornell University in Ithaca, New York on a bursary while Josh Klassen of Duncan Christian School is going to attend Briercrest College and Seminary in Caronport, Saskatchewan.

Ridenour had also considered Princeton, UBC and Northeastern.

“His academic standing in the school is excellent,’’ said Brentwood teacher and rowing coach Brian Carr. “In these universities, they’re student athletes.

“It’s a great fit for him. When he went out to visit the school, he fell in love with the place right away.’’

“They’re right up there with the top crews,’’ said Ridenour of the rowing program.

He will be studying engineering.

Klassen has decided to specialize in basketball at Briercrest and leave his volleyball playing days behind.

“I had one offer for volleyball,’’ said Klassen.

That was at Redeemer University College in Ancaster, Ont. where DCS grad Cam Groenendijk is a student and volleyball team member. “That made it more difficult,’’ said Klassen. “Before that, I’d been thinking basketball.’’

Basketball eventually won out anyway for Klassen.

“I don’t think I’d be able to give up basketball,’’ he said.

Klassen went to a three-day recruiting camp April 19 to 21 and

then made his decision.

“I was pretty convinced I wanted to go to Briercrest because it seemed like a good fit,’’ he said.

“Getting on campus at Briercrest, I really enjoyed it. It felt like a good community.’’

“I’m excited that Josh has chosen to bring his basketball ability, character and leadership skills to the Prairies,’’ noted men’s basketball head coach Rod Adrian.

Klassen will join a veteran squad that led the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference in 2012-13 and was the top-ranked Canadian Colleges Athletic Association team for the final five weeks of the season.

“Adding Josh to that group brings a quality young player who will have an impact on the team,’’ noted Adrian. “I see a ‘college-ready’ player in him with ball-handling ability that is rare for his size.’’

Midget Thunder on a roll since opener Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

C

owichan Valley’s Pacific Homes Midget A Thunder lacrosse team is off to a 5-1 start in league play.

It took one game for the Thunder to find its form.

After a 9-3 loss to Juan de Fuca, the team has since beaten Peninsula twice 8-2 and 9-7, gained revenge against Juan de Fuca 9-4, knocked off Juan de Fuca A2 9-3 and defeated Saanich in its most recent game on Lacrosse Day in the Valley at Kerry Park Saturday 8-5.

“We’re a really strong team,’’ said Thunder coach Lorne Winship.

The nucleus of the team won a provincial championship last season at the Midget A2 level.

“We have 10 returning kids from that team,’’ said Winship. “We’re comfortably an A1 team this year.

“We should be a team to beat — between us and Juan de Fuca would be seen as the top two teams on the island. Peninsula and Saanich aren’t too far behind and closing the gap quickly.’’

The midgets’ success starts from the back end with goalie Apollo Claxton, who once played for Juan de Fuca before joining Cowichan.

“There’s always a bit more to the game for him when we play against them,’’ said Winship.

The Thunder jumped

Matching each other stride-for-stride are: Jessica Castle of Ecolé Mill Bay, left, and Chloe Storie-Soth of Bench as they head to the finish line in the Grade 5 girls’ group during the District 79 elementary cross country run at Glenora Trail Head Park last Thursday.

Jung scored two more goals in the second to make it 6-1 before Saanich sliced into the lead with a pair. Taylor Martin rounded out the period with an unassisted goal on a breakaway.

Saanich outscored Cowichan 2-1 in the third period. Lumb notched his second of the game and also had an assist.

rentwood College’s senior boys’ eight turned the tables on Vancouver College during the Seattle opening day regatta.

“We won by three seconds,’’ said Brian Carr, coach of the Brentwood rowing crew.

“We lost by .43 of a second the week before.’’

That previous result from the Brentwood Regatta was still on the minds of the Brentwood boys when they hit the water for the rematch south of the border.

Their winning time to capture the Referee Cup in the high school division was 6:19.6 over 2,000 metres while Vancouver College came second in 6:22.5.

Vic City was third in 6:22.9.

The Brentwood senior girls’ eight placed a distant second to Bainbridge Island of Washington state in the run for the Lyson Cup. Bainbridge won in 7:12.9, Brentwood’s time was 7:21.7 and Rose City of Oregon finished third in 7:24.7.

“That was a great confidence-booster for the girls and the guys and a great trip,’’ said Carr.

Brentwood and Vancouver College boys will clash once more at the Shawnigan Regatta this weekend.

“It’s sort of the rubber match,’’ said Carr. “It’s going to be a great race Sunday afternoon.’’

Cowichan drops pair of games Big-ticket cricket: Alcos B, Albion play spoilers after successful home opener

Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

C

owichan started the Victoria and District Cricket Association season like a house on fire in the first of three straight games at the Shawnigan Lake Elford Road Grounds.

But things kind of fizzled out the last two

games.

Cowichan opened the 2013 schedule with a win by 52 runs over visiting Alcos A. Steve Cannon shot his way to the top of the scoring chart with 54 runs while Charles Swart was the pick of the bowlers, taking four wickets for 40 runs from nine overs.

Unfortunately, momentum from that victory didn’t carry over, as Cowichan lost by a whopping 105 runs to Alcos B at Shawnigan Lake April 28.

Alcos batted first and Cowichan faced an overwhelming task trying to dismiss Guarav Kumar.

Having been dropped on 15 before the brief interval, Kumar cut loose in the second half of the innings and put up at least 80% of a 119-run fifth-wicket partnership off his own bat.

He appeared destined to run out of partners himself before a brilliant catch at cover by Cannon led to his departure at 121.

Additional late hitting took the Alcos total to 305 from 45 overs. Swart was the only Cowichan bowler with any luck at containing runs, taking two wickets for 20 runs in his nine overs.

Cowichan’s response looked surprisingly comfortable, moving to 60 runs from 12 overs before the first wicket fell. Opener and captain Nagy Thomas played

Hassaan Rahim bowls to Albion Sunday at Shawnigan Lake.

freely despite further wickets falling around him that catapulted him to 87.

Despite best efforts, Cowichan could only manage a total of 200.

Next up was Albion Sunday at Shawnigan Lake and Cowichan lost by 93 runs.

Albion was all out for 244 after 43 overs. Clayton Bodkyn took three wickets for 46 runs but Cannon was the most economical bowler at one for 13 in nine overs.

Cowichan scored 50 before losing its first wicket. But then wickets fell regularly and the innings closed at 151 all out after only 30 overs.

Bodkyn was the top scorer with 24.

Cannon is a new arrival to the team from Australia and Swart comes from South Africa.
